Planning for the Second Half of the School Year

After revisiting my ambitious plan for this school year, created over the summer, I've decided on our final main lesson blocks for the year.

Note: N and L are doing a non-traditional scope & sequence since Natalie was transitioning into Waldorf and then back out again and Leah is transitioning into Waldorf and staying there. So it's not precisely 6th and 8th grades.

We follow a main lesson block rotation of Cultural / Mathematics / Language / Science, with three full rotations occurring during the course of the year.

Speaking of lovely and delicious books, I am in such a mood for FOOD right now. And the recipes in Meatless: More Than 200 of the Very Best Vegetarian Recipeslook so scrumptious that my mouth was watering while I planned the weekly menu. I choose a week's worth of dinners and throw in some things for the girls to bake or make for snacks, create a grocery shopping list for Adam (divided into produce, bakery, pantry, dairy, meat, and household), and write up all the recipes we have ingredients for on a large chalkboard in the laundry room. When we are hungry we just go see what we can make! Anyway, here is the mouthwatering delectable list of vegetarian meals, with two meat ones for my husband there at the end.
